This week, S.E. chats with friend, fellow podcast host (The Backroom), filmmaker, and candy-shop owner, Andy Ostroy. Andy has had a pretty wild life, so far. And he shares many unvarnished moments from it in this candid conversation, from his tumultuous childhood, to finding love in New York City after 911, to the shocking death of his young wife, the actor Adrienne Shelley ... and that's just the start of it. Andy and S.E. talk about exploring the darker parts of oneself and finding the light, as Andy did with the Adrienne Shelley Foundation, which supports female filmmakers. There's so much to get into and it's capped with a very sweet lightning round.
